College Condos
Solid value in a growing area
Median $145K·Walkability 3.0/10·Schools 7.3/10
Most people expect condos to mean density—stacked units, tight quarters, parking garage living. College Condos breaks that mold across its 2 acres with a layout that feels more spacious than the typical condo cluster. You get the low-maintenance appeal of condo ownership without feeling like you're living on top of your neighbors. Homes here run around $248K, and they're situated near the Allendale Public School District, with a transit stop about an 8-minute walk away if you need it. The Cadence Place Condo Common Area is right there—a 2-minute stroll—and there's actual breathing room between buildings, which is rarer than you'd think in this type of community.

For an accurate, comparable picture, see the jurisdiction-wide figures for Ottawa County.
Ottawa County crime & safety stats →To buy a median-priced College Condos home (around $144,900) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $26k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $964 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |

Estimates use a 6.49% 30-year fixed rate (current Freddie Mac average), an aggressive ~45% housing-to-income ratio (roughly what FHA underwriting can allow for a buyer with no other monthly debts — your number depends on your debts and credit), this area's median sale price, plus estimated insurance and PMI below 20% down. Not a commitment to lend, and not an APR — your actual rate and payment will vary.
